A Guide to “Brooklyn’s Lincoln Center”
BAM’s Peter Jay Sharp Building
Rose Cinemas is in this building, allowing Brooklyn to see the hottest non-mainstream first-run releases as well as the exceptionally curated repertory program, as is the Howard Gilman Opera House, home to actual operas as well as rock concerts, dance performances, and much more. The Brooklyn Academy of Music is the most important cultural organization in the borough, bringing world-class work to our side of the East River for more than 150 years. This, its main building, is the cornerstone of the district. (Full disclosure: our parent company prints BAM’s programs.) 30 Lafayette Avenue.
